Re: Renewing OHIP- I am on implied status.

[Choo]

Here is my situation.

Right before my post graduate work permit expired, I applied for PR under common law and therefore, I am on implied status, meaning I can continue to work full-time in Canada. However, I was told by Service Ontario that I can't renew my OHIP until I receive my PR.

I'd like to know if there is absolutely NO WAY to renew my health card until I get my PR. I need to get an MRI done as soon as possible.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

You need to go through OHIP eligibility review committee. It took us about a month to get new OHIP card. They would also pay for all expenses triggered while we waited or their decision.
